Configuring SSL connections
You configure SSL connections by creating a truststore to store the Message Bus digital certificate and point the Gateway for Message Bus to the location of the truststore.
You configure SSL connections if you are using one of the following SSL connection scenarios:
- HTTPS/SSL connection between the gateway and Message Bus
- SSL connection between the gateway and IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis
Note: The second SSL connection scenario provides a utility called
nc_httpcertimport that
makes it easier to load a certificate from an HTTP server. Note that
the nc_httpcertimport utility is supported on all
UNIX operating system platforms that the gateway supports. The nc_httpcertimport utility
is not supported on Windows operating systems. For a description of
the nc_httpcertimport utility and its associated
command line options see Using the nc_httpcertimport utility.The following topics describe how to configure SSL connections for the previously describe scenarios:
